Php – MySQL service not starting on WAMP

I donwloaded the latest version of WAMP which is 3.0.6 and I am at my wits end with this. The Apache services works 100% but the MySQL service on WAMP refuses to start and I have tried several solutions found on stackoverflow. Here is what I have tried:

• I tried changing the port from 3306 to 3307 (and others within the 330X range), and when I test the port, it just says Port 3307 is not found associated with TCP protocol. Even for the default 3306 port it says this

• I tried checking the MySQL logs but it comes up as a blank document

• I tried starting the wampmysqld64 service in Services.msc and it fails

• I checked for any duplicate my.ini files on my system and there are none

• I uninstalled XAMPP, but that didn't fix anything

• I tried disabling my firewalls

• I tried manually changing the port numbers in the my.ini file

• I tried a tutorial on YouTube that used the MySQL console on WAMP but whenever I try that it asks for a password and closes after I try to proceed beyond that point

• I tried uninstalling and reinstalling WAMP several times

• I have restarted WAMP and my computer after each change I made

• I saw a few resources said to delete certain files from mysql/data but I do not have a data folder in my mysql directory in wamp

• I don't have any ib_logfiles or ibdata files to delete

• I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the MySQL service

• I can't delete anything from the mysql-bin.index file because it does not exist anywhere in my wamp folder

• I tried using the option Use port other than 3306 and changing it from 3301 – 3309, none of them work

• I tried running wampserver64 as an administrator

• I tried installing WAMP as an administrator

• I checked my Microsoft C/C++ Runtime Libraries and have all the required libraries

• Lastly, a friend of mine downloaded the same version as me and has the exact same configurations as me but his WAMP works perfectly fine.

What else can I try to get the MySQL service to run on WAMP?
